Hi, in XULRunner you can use HTML documents instead of XUL and they have the same privileges as XUL ones. So you may try this thing:
>From http://code.google.com/p/xuljet/ download the latest archive and use examples/helloworld directory as a template. in the file defaults/preferences/prefs.js change the first line to the actual starting html file: pref("toolkit.defaultChromeURI", "chrome://myapp/content/index.html"); >From CouchDB copy the file couch.js (/usr/share/couchdb/www/script/couch.js) to the chrome/content directory Create chrome/content/index.html and add <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/couch.js"/> to the head section. Then you may try something like CouchDB.urlPrefix = "http://192.168.1.42:5984"; var db = new CouchDB("myDatabase"); alert(db.allDocs()); You cannot start witch external server address however you can use XULRunner as a local provider that will get data server external web server via Ajax and display. Maybe you can use basic XUL document with a browser tag and use browser tag inside (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL/browser#a-browser.type) with the type "chrome". But I'm not sure if it will work well. -- Pavel couch.db.urlPrefix = "http://192.168.1.42:5984"; var db = new couch.db("adresy"); On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 10:53 AM, Nils Breunese <[email protected]> wrote: > Florian Leitner wrote: > >> As I never used node.js, I gave it a look just now - and found >> something rather worrying with respect to my needs: node.js does not >> support Windows (natively, only via Cygwin), and after checking their >> mailing list, it seems the developers behind node.js are not planning >> any support for it, either - and not even much for their "Cygwin >> port".
